Squid traffic management question

Xefan

What is the difference between "Overall bandwidth throttling" and "Per-host throttling"? How does squid manage the channel bandwidth?

dvserg

Per-host throttling - each client(by IP) have selected bandwidth
Overall bandwidth throttling - all clients have one common bandwidth.

Xefan

Per-host trottlings * Clients = Overall bandwidth?

Can one client take all bandwidth?

dvserg

Overall bandwidth limit ALL http traffic via squid.
Each client limit Per-host trottlings, if ( Per-host trottlings * Clients < Overall bandwidth )

Xefan

So I have to decide if I want to limit Overall bandwidth throttling (a "channel" for all clients) or per-host throttling?

Use Overall bandwidth throttling.
Per-host set to 0.
